Independent French health agency ANSES recommends a maximum nicotine limit for all combustible tobacco product; the Company’s supply now includes non-GMO reduced-nicotine tobacco, addressing a key feasibility question for France and the EU

MOCKSVILLE, N.C., Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 22nd Century Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XXII), the only low nicotine tobacco company in the world, today highlighted the findings of a scientific assessment published by ANSES, France’s National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety, which identifies nicotine reduction in combustible tobacco products as a promising public health initiative and points to 22nd Century’s technology as the only commercially available production path for reduced nicotine content combustible cigarettes.

The ANSES report (Referral No. 2025-AST-0038 – Nicotine), commissioned by France’s Directorate General of Health (DGS) and validated on December 5, 2025, concludes that reducing the nicotine content of cigarettes could be an effective tool in the fight against smoking, citing randomized controlled trials showing that reduced-nicotine cigarettes limit addiction and cigarette consumption and can facilitate abstinence when combined with nicotine replacement therapy and professional support. The report recommends that any maximum nicotine limit be applied to all combustible tobacco products, conventional cigarettes, rolling tobacco and cigars alike, and that the measure be considered at the European Union level, including through the ongoing revision of Directive 2014/40/EU on tobacco products.

The report’s reference standard for very-low-nicotine production

In its assessment of international experience, the report notes that the only very low nicotine cigarettes (VLNC’s) currently available rely on low-nicotine tobacco produced through plant science and describes 22nd Century’s approach as the only currently in commercial use in its VLN^® and Pinnacle VLN^® cigarettes. The report further documents the Company’s regulatory record: FDA authorization of the VLN product line in December 2019, and in December 2021 the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) designation for combustible cigarettes, authorizing 22nd Century as the first cigarette manufacturer to use the claim “Helps reduce nicotine consumption.” The Company has also supplied the Spectrum research cigarette line to the U.S. scientific community in partnership with FDA, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since 2011, and in May 2026 the FDA filed the Company’s MRTP renewal applications for VLN King and VLN Menthol King for scientific review.

Non-GMO reduced-nicotine tobacco now available for France and the EU

The ANSES report raises the question of how reduced nicotine products would fit within French and European rules on genetically modified organisms. 22nd Century has expanded its technology platform to include reduced-nicotine tobacco produced without genetic modification. 22^nd Century’s non-GMO low nicotine tobacco has been sourced at commercial scale and is available to support an initiative like the one contemplated in France or across the broader European Union. This means the nicotine-cap scenario described in the report could be supplied without reliance on genetically modified tobacco, removing a perceived key implementation barrier of the reduced nicotine standard.

Alignment with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

A maximum nicotine standard for combustible products, as recommended by ANSES, would operate squarely within the framework of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), to which France and all EU Member States are parties. Regulation of the product itself, reducing the addictive potential of combustible tobacco, complements the demand-reduction and supply measures the Convention establishes and advances the goal of protecting public health policies from commercial influences on consumption.

A multi-billion-euro market would convert to reduced-nicotine products

Under a nicotine-cap rule of the kind ANSES recommends, the standard would apply to all combustible tobacco products sold in France, converting what is today an estimated to be over €20 billion annual retail market into a very-low-nicotine market. Accounting for the transition dynamics the ANSES report itself identifies, displacement to illicit trade, substitution to other nicotine products such as e-cigarettes, and reduced cigarettes-per-day among remaining smokers, the Company estimates the sustainable legal market at approximately €8-13 billion at retail over the first three to five years following implementation. However, as only a small fraction of the retail price reaches manufacturers after French excise duties and VAT, success under this scenario depends on the supply of reduced-nicotine tobacco at scale, a role 22nd Century’s expanded platform, including non-GMO reduced-nicotine tobacco, is positioned to fulfill.

European policy window

The European Commission launched a call for evidence on May 18, 2026 as part of the announced revision of the EU tobacco control framework, with legislative proposals widely expected to be put forward before the end of 2026. The ANSES report explicitly frames this revision as the opportunity to create a legal framework for reduced-nicotine tobacco products across the EU single market, harmonized to limit cross-border circumvention.

“The ANSES report is a significant validation of the work our Company has pursued for almost three decades. A sovereign public health agency, after a critical review of the global evidence , has concluded that reducing nicotine in combustible products is among the best-supported interventions in the scientific literature, and has identified the approach we pioneered as the one currently available at commercial scale. With reduced-nicotine tobacco now also sourced and available without genetic modification, we are prepared to supply an initiative like France’s in France or across the European Union.” said Larry Firestone, Chief Executive Officer of 22nd Century Group.

“With VLN^® products now commercially available in 23 U.S. states, we are seeing a growing number of consumers adopt the platform and purchase through our retail channels, with sales growing month over month. Our reduced nicotine VLN^® cigarette solution is now gaining recognition in Europe as well. Interested parties and prospective partners across multiple European countries have reached out to the Company, and we are actively evaluating these markets and how we can best serve them,” Firestone continued.

22nd Century Group remains focused on advancing tobacco harm reduction through its FDA-authorized VLN^® product platform and its reduced-nicotine tobacco supply, and looks forward to contributing constructively and transparently to the policy discussions ahead in France and the wider European Union.

The Company is developing an integration of its patent-pending quantum atomic clock technology with Rydberg atom-based RF sensing technology

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quantum X Labs Inc. Ltd. (Nasdaq: QXL) (“Quantum X” or the “Company”) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quantum X Labs Ltd. (“Quantum X Labs” or “QXL”), is working on the development of Rydberg atom-based radio-frequency (“RF”) sensing technology and its integration with the Company’s patent-pending quantum atomic clock technology, expanding QXL’s work in atom-based quantum sensing.

The development program is currently underway in QXL’s laboratories and is intended to combine two complementary atom-based capabilities: high-precision atomic timing and quantum-enabled RF sensing. The integration work builds on QXL’s quantum atomic clock platform, for which the Company has a pending patent application. QXL previously announced the successful demonstration of its high-sensitivity atomic clock based on its Ramsey Coherent Population Trapping (“Ramsey-CPT”) platform.

QXL is now working to expand its atom-based sensing capabilities by developing Rydberg atom RF sensing technology and working toward its integration with the Company’s atomic clock platform. The Rydberg RF sensing technology and the proposed integration are separate development activities and are not covered by the Company’s pending atomic clock patent application.

Rydberg RF sensing uses atoms excited into highly energetic states known as Rydberg states. In these states, atoms become highly sensitive to electromagnetic fields, creating the potential to use the atoms themselves as RF sensing elements. Changes in atomic states caused by incoming RF signals can be optically interrogated, providing a different approach to detecting and characterizing electromagnetic signals compared with conventional electronic RF sensing. QXL’s development program is focused on bringing this capability together with its existing atomic timing technology.

By integrating these capabilities through the development program, QXL is working toward an atom-based sensing architecture that combines precision timing, frequency reference and RF sensing within a unified technological platform.

The development is aligned with a broader defense and aerospace industry shift toward atom-based quantum sensing and precision timing technologies for operations in increasingly complex and contested electromagnetic environments. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has advanced both Rydberg atom-based RF receivers for potential applications, including electromagnetic spectrum operations, radar and communications, as well as precision atomic-clock technologies intended to maintain critical timing capabilities in environments where access to GPS may be degraded or unavailable.

The aerospace sector is also evaluating Rydberg sensing for space applications. A 2026 study conducted in collaboration between Airbus Defence and Space, Quantum Valley Ideas Laboratories and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) examined the feasibility of using Rydberg atom-based sensors in spaceborne radar systems, reflecting growing interest in transitioning atom-based quantum sensing from laboratory research toward potential aerospace and defense applications.

QXL believes that this evolution strengthens the potential relevance of combining precision atomic timing with atom-based RF sensing within a common technology architecture for future aerospace and defense systems.

“We see significant technological value in bringing different atom-based sensing capabilities together rather than developing each technology entirely in isolation,” said Prof. Nir Sharon, Chief Quantum Scientist of Quantum X Labs. “Our atomic clock provides a precision timing and frequency foundation. We are now developing Rydberg atom RF sensing technology in our laboratories and working toward integrating these capabilities. Our objective is to create an architecture in which atomic technology can provide both precise timing and information about the surrounding RF environment.”

QXL intends to continue laboratory development, testing and integration work toward demonstrating the combined architecture.

The Rydberg RF sensing technology and its integration with QXL’s atomic clock remain under development. The Company has not yet demonstrated a fully integrated atomic clock and Rydberg RF sensing system, and there can be no assurance that the development program will achieve its intended technical performance or result in a commercially viable product.

DALLAS, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperion DeFi, Inc. (NASDAQ: HYPD) (“Hyperion DeFi” or the “Company”), today announced it has been named a launch partner for Frontier’s Hyperliquid Vault, a new membership program that gives priority access to the next wave of internet top-level domains (TLDs).

“Every cycle, the crypto industry goes looking for real assets with real history. Domains are a multi-billion dollar market with 25 years of institutional history, and the internet is about to expand for only the second time in its history. We’re excited to launch Frontier with Hyperion DeFi, making the Hyperliquid community a key part of this domain supercycle,” said Fred Hsu, CEO and Co-Founder of D3.

The launch follows the opening of only the second application round for new top-level domains in the history of the internet. ICANN, the non-profit that coordinates the domain name system, received more than 1,600 applications in August 2026 for extensions including .agent, .crypto, .wallet, .sol, and .robot — with .hype among the applications in this round. The last expansion round, in 2012, produced roughly 1,200 new TLDs now used by tens of millions of websites, including .xyz and .app. 

D3, the core contributor to the Doma Protocol, is one of the only Web3 ICANN-accredited registrars. Frontier gives members priority access to this next wave:

1. Deposit. Members deposit eligible assets with supported vault providers on Solana and Hyperliquid. Additional vaults on other major chains are expected to follow in the coming months.
2. Earn points. Members earn Frontier Points toward supported top-level domains.
3. Get priority. Members commit Frontier Points to establish priority for names from participating registries ahead of General Registration.

“In continuing to build and scale institutional products onchain, we saw a unique opportunity to work alongside D3 and position the Hyperliquid ecosystem for the historic expansion of the internet, with .hype among the new domain extensions that can be accessed through this program,” said Hyunsu Jung, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion DeFi. “As the tokenization of real-world assets continues to accelerate, we expect a dramatic shift in how domains operate as an asset class, especially with future integrations into DeFi both on Hyperliquid and beyond.”

The Frontier Hyperliquid Vault is Hyperion DeFi’s first supporting role in a Doma Protocol program, extending the Company’s strategy of connecting Hyperliquid to new products and services moving onchain. Internet domains represent one of the largest real-world asset categories to date, and Frontier is Doma Protocol’s and D3’s vehicle for bringing that market onchain.

As part of this initial commitment, Hyperion DeFi is entitled to receive an allocation of DOMA token supply from a potential future token generation event, under a separate incentive arrangement with Doma Foundation. The Company expects additional collaboration and revenue opportunities with D3 and Doma Protocol to follow.

U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. government research engagements anchor growth in defense and national security

ExynAI deployment at Eldorado Gold’s Tüprag mine cut survey capture times from approximately 40 minutes to 5 minutes per scan

Gross margin expanded to 46.9% in the second quarter of 2026, driven by a higher contribution from software and subscription revenue

Actions taken to reduce annualized operating expenses

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Exyn Technologies (“Exyn” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EXYN, EXYNW), a leader in physical AI for autonomous mapping and perception-driven navigation in complex, GPS-denied environments, today issued the following letter to shareholders from Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer Ben Williams.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Since stepping into the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer in August, I have spent much of my time with our customers, partners, engineers, and board. I have been with Exyn since 2019, and I want to share with you where the Company stands, what we have accomplished since our initial public offering in May, and what you can expect from us in the months ahead.

I am pleased to be working alongside Dr. Gregory McNeal, who became Chairman of our Board in August, and he also chairs our Nominating and Governance Committee and serves on our Audit and Compensation Committees. Dr. McNeal is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a Signal Corps officer responsible for secure military communications networks. He co-founded AirMap, an aerospace and defense software company that Fast Company recognized as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies and that was later acquired, and he has advised the White House, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and multiple Federal Aviation Administration rulemaking committees on unmanned aircraft systems. He also served as Executive Chairman of SailPlan, a maritime artificial intelligence company, through its growth and acquisition. His experience across defense, autonomous systems policy, and building technology companies aligns closely with where Exyn is headed, and his guidance will be valuable as we execute our strategy.

ExynAI and the Physical AI Opportunity

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond the digital world and into machines that can perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and act on their own. This shift is often called Physical AI, and I see a significant opportunity in what I think of as continuous, ubiquitous digitalization, where fleets of autonomous systems keep an up-to-date digital model of the physical world, whether that is a mine, a factory, a tunnel network or bunker, an aircraft, or a military installation.

ExynAI® was built for the places where that is hardest to do. Our autonomy has been fielded since 2016 and has completed thousands of autonomous missions in underground mines, tunnels, industrial facilities, and other GPS-denied environments worldwide. It has achieved Level 4B autonomy and is designed to navigate, map, and operate in GPS-denied, communications-denied, and unknown environments without prior maps or continuous human control. Using onboard artificial intelligence, it enables aerial and ground robots to perceive their surroundings, localize in real time, build maps as they move, and reason about changing conditions with minimal or no operator input. We see significant opportunity in commercial and government, and the same capabilities that transformed how our early customers operated in the mining industry are now being utilized to great effect across government, industrial, and geospatial industries.

Momentum in Government and Defense

Our government and defense strategy has gained significant momentum across U.S. and allied government programs in recent months. We secured an agreement supporting autonomous aircraft inspection and digital twin initiatives at the U.S. Air Force’s Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, our entry into defense sustainment, where operating and support costs account for roughly 70% of a weapon system’s lifecycle cost according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. A leading U.S. government research and engineering organization selected our Nexys platform after a head-to-head technical evaluation against other commercial LiDAR systems, and we initiated the Green UAS certification process to support broader adoption of Nexys across defense and federal programs. We also secured new work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

This progress is reflected in growing engagement with new and existing defense, government, OEM and commercial customers. Several of these opportunities are at an advanced stage, and our team is focused on converting them into signed contracts and longer-term customer relationships.

Commercial Results and a Growing Platform

Our commercial customers continue to show what ExynAI can deliver. At Tüprag, Eldorado Gold’s mining operation in Turkey, Exyn Nexys reduced survey capture times from approximately 40 minutes per scan to approximately 5 minutes and delivered approximately 300% greater survey coverage. According to Tüprag, the investment paid for itself when Nexys scanned previously inaccessible sections of the mine and identified additional recoverable ore.

We are also bringing ExynAI to more platforms. We recently extended it to CHCNAV’s X500 drone and are integrating it with UP Caeli Via’s ARGOS drone, and through our APIs and software development kit, manufacturers can add our autonomy to their own aerial and ground systems without building it themselves. Each integration extends our reach without requiring Exyn to build the hardware and supports our shift toward recurring, higher-margin software revenue. A growing contribution from software and subscription revenue helped lift our gross margin to 46.9% in the second quarter of 2026 from 40.6% a year earlier.

Disciplined Execution and Rigorous Governance

Over the past several weeks, I have reviewed every line item of our expense base to make sure our resources go to the customers, programs and engineering work most likely to generate revenue. As a result, we have taken actions, including a strategic and targeted reduction in our workforce, that we expect to meaningfully lower annualized operating expenses. These were difficult decisions that affect talented colleagues, and I am grateful for everything they contributed to Exyn.

We are also moving forward with the plan described in our most recent quarterly report to strengthen our internal controls and financial oversight, including a full review of our compliance and governance policies. To support this work, we are engaging an experienced outside financial advisory firm to work alongside our finance team. Strong financial controls matter to our shareholders and to our customers, particularly in defense, and I take personal responsibility for getting this right.

What to Expect

In the months ahead, we expect to conduct the initial demonstration at Warner Robins in October, with operational activities planned to begin in January 2027. We will also report on our progress in converting our pipeline into contracts, expanding OEM and platform integrations, advancing Green UAS certification, and strengthening our controls. I believe Exyn has the technology, the field experience, and the team to build a larger and more valuable business, and I look forward to reporting to you on each of these milestones.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Ben Williams

Washington, D.C., ranks as the nation’s most prepared metro, while Los Angeles, California, records the lowest level of seasonal maintenance activity

DENVER, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As temperatures begin to drop, homeowners across the country are preparing their homes for the colder months ahead. New data from Angi, a leading digital home services marketplace, reveals which U.S. metropolitan areas are the most—and least—prepared for fall.

Based on per-capita fall maintenance activity on Angi, Washington, D.C., ranks as the nation’s most fall-prepared metro, followed by Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee; Cleveland; and Albany, New York, round out the top five. Overall, cold-weather markets dominate the ranking, accounting for eight of the 10 most prepared metros.

At the other end of the ranking, Los Angeles, California, recorded the lowest level of per-capita fall maintenance activity, followed by Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Riverside, California. While several California metros ranked near the bottom—potentially reflecting the state’s milder seasonal weather—other lower-ranking markets with more variable fall and winter conditions included Grand Rapids, MI and Memphis, Tennessee. These rankings highlight metros where homeowners may have an opportunity to get ahead on preventive projects before colder or more volatile weather arrives.

“Fall maintenance is really about getting ahead of small issues—particularly those that can leave your home vulnerable to water damage or cold weather—before they become costly problems,” said Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angi. “Whether you live in a place that experiences snow and freezing temperatures or a warmer climate where heavy rain and seasonal storms are a bigger concern, taking care of essentials like your heating system, gutters, roof and outdoor plumbing now can help protect your home and prevent unwelcome surprises later.”

America’s 10 Most Fall-Prepared Metros

1. Washington, DC
2. Columbus, OH
3. Milwaukee, WI
4. Cleveland, OH
5. Albany, NY
6. Rochester, NY
7. Charlotte, NC
8. Chicago, IL
9. Indianapolis, IN
10. Pittsburgh, PA

10 Metros With the Most Opportunity to Get Fall-Ready

1. Los Angeles, CA
2. Oklahoma City, OK
3. Riverside, CA
4. Miami, FL
5. San Diego, CA
6. Houston, TX
7. Grand Rapids, MI
8. San Francisco, CA
9. Austin TX
10. Memphis, TN

Angie Hicks’ Top Five Fall Maintenance Tips

1. Inspect your roof and clean your gutters. Check for loose or missing shingles and clear leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts. Make sure water is being directed away from the home to help prevent damage to the roof, siding and foundation.
2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Inspect weatherstripping and caulking for cracks or deterioration. Sealing drafts can help keep warm air inside, improve comfort and reduce the strain on your heating system.
3. Schedule a heating-system tune-up. Your heating system is one of the largest energy users in your home, so have it inspected before temperatures drop to make sure it is operating safely and efficiently—and does not let you down on the coldest night of the year.
4. Winterize outdoor plumbing and irrigation systems. Disconnect garden hoses, shut off and drain exterior faucets where appropriate, and winterize irrigation systems before the first freeze to help prevent burst pipes and costly water damage.
5. Check your home’s safety systems. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries as needed. Homeowners who use a fireplace or wood-burning stove should also have the chimney and related equipment inspected and cleaned before the season’s first use.

Methodology

The rankings are based on fall maintenance activity recorded on Angi during August 2026. Projects included yard cleanup, winterization, roofing and gutters, heating systems, water and drainage, outdoor plumbing, fireplaces and chimneys, pest prevention, and snow and storm preparation. U.S. metropolitan areas were ranked by activity per 100,000 residents using 2020 U.S. Census population data. The rankings reflect activity on Angi’s platform and are not a complete measure of all home-maintenance activity within each metro.

Limited-edition camo cans, a brand-new merch collection and a nationwide campaign bring Twisted Tea into the great outdoors this fall

BOSTON, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — America’s favorite hard iced tea, Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea, and Realtree, the nation’s leading outdoor lifestyle brand, are teaming up for a limited-edition fall collaboration that gives Twisted Tea’s unmistakable bright yellow cans a camo makeover.

Rolling out nationwide now, the collaboration brings the iconic Realtree APX® camouflage pattern to Twisted Tea packaging for the first time, bringing together two brands that feel right at home in the great outdoors.

For a limited time this fall, fans can spot the Team Realtree® logo across Twisted Tea Original 12-pack and 18-pack wraps, while Realtree APX® camo takes over a limited-edition 24 oz. can. Whether you’re camping, fishing, tailgating or just cracking open a Hard Tea outside with friends, Twisted Tea and Realtree are making sure the unofficial uniform of fall extends all the way to your cooler.

And the camo doesn’t stop at the can.

Twisted Tea and Realtree are going all-in with a limited-edition merch collection packed with camo gear you didn’t know you needed until right now, including hoodies, hats, beanies, T-shirts, vests, backpacks, chairs, duck calls and more. Ever wanted a talking fish on your wall? Of course you have. They’ve got that, too. Fans can shop the limited-edition collection on Twisted Tea’s Tea Store while supplies last.

But good luck hiding this collaboration. Twisted Tea x Realtree is going just about everywhere this fall, with a national Tea Drop campaign spanning TV, streaming, social, bars, restaurants and retail.

Beyond the screen, Twisted Tea is taking the camo out into the wild through social content, creators and activations throughout the fall. And at retail, the brand is bringing the outdoors indoors with can’t-miss displays featuring everything from Twisted Tea deer antlers to a full-on lodge fireplace scene.

“Twisted Tea drinkers already love spending time outdoors, so teaming up with Realtree felt like a no-brainer,” said Erica Taylor, senior brand director for Twisted Tea. “Our fans are the kind of people who would rather be outside doing something than sitting around talking about it, and Realtree is already part of that world. Bringing their iconic camo to Twisted Tea gave us a really fun way to show up for our drinkers this fall.”

“There aren’t many cans out there as instantly recognizable as a Twisted Tea, which made it especially fun for us to give that bright yellow can the Realtree treatment,” said Tyler Jordan, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Realtree. “Our camo has shown up in a lot of places over the years, but this collaboration gave us a chance to have some fun with it and bring Realtree to Twisted Tea fans in a totally new way. And we didn’t stop with the can. From what fans are drinking to what they’re wearing, we’re giving them plenty of ways to break out the Realtree camo this fall.”
